Chapter 273: Free from your bonds
"You\'ve changed," Morgana said. She had already noticed the change in Dante; how could she not? She had seen this man grow, or at least, she had seen Dante grow, not his other lives. And this, in a way, began to trouble Morgana; she at least wanted to know what was happening with her husband, and well... Dante wasn\'t going to hide anymore...
"I\'ve recovered my memories of past lives," Dante said while looking at her, still smiling. He murmured something in a demonic language, and the soil began to heal, all the malice being forced into a single piece of land.
Dante\'s words struck Morgana like a fiery arrow, setting her entire body ablaze. She was... "It\'s alright, it\'s not what you think," Dante said, turning to her with a small malignant sphere while the whole area turned completely gray. "I chose to discard all those experiences until a day I can absorb them without losing myself.
I remain, and will always be, your Dante," he said, trying to calm her, as he could already feel her emotions bubbling inside his head.
"Although... I may still need to return some things to you, Tsukoyomi," Dante murmured. By some twist of Fate, Tsukoyomi\'s existence continued, and his legacy fell into the hands of his own reincarnation. Despite knowing that Tsukoyomi no longer existed, only Morgana, he still wanted to at least give her the memories of when they lived together...
Dante had many things on his mind now, many problems he wished he didn\'t have to worry about, but many things were also something that the future could compromise his peaceful life, especially being the reincarnation of someone so powerful in his first life... Unfortunately, knowing the scale of things currently, he knew it would be useless to try to solve these problems; he would have to wait...
Wait until the sector ascended to a medium level. When the Sector rises in Level, things might get even worse... however... "I want to talk with you later," he said, approaching her and embracing her. "Don\'t worry too much, I will always be Dante," he assured, and Morgana calmed slightly... "Talk?..." she questioned.
Dante just nodded, "You, Valentina, and Voralith, I have some things to discuss about... well, the other me..." he said as he prepared to continue walking, holding Morgana\'s hand, he felt a slight tremor, "Later, I will spend a long time with you," Dante said, making her tremble again, but this time with anticipation...
"Finally," she thought, convinced. She was eager to feel something that only Dante could give her...
"Now... I should check on Sara and Lyrianna, they were in bad shape..." Dante murmured, but before... "Fey, reforest this area, alright? Create a clearing and let the poor animals find comfort, I can feel their fear." Dante said. Of course, he could completely feel that world tree; it had accepted him...
"You\'ve changed," Morgana said. She had already noticed the change in Dante; how could she not? She had seen this man grow, or at least, she had seen Dante grow, not his other lives. And this, in a way, began to trouble Morgana; she at least wanted to know what was happening with her husband, and well... Dante wasn\'t going to hide anymore...

Dante\'s words struck Morgana\'s mind like a fiery arrow, igniting her entire being. She felt... "It\'s alright, it\'s not what you think," Dante said as he turned to her with a small malignant sphere in hand, while the entire area turned completely gray. "I chose to discard all those experiences until a day when I can absorb them without losing myself.

Dante had many things on his mind now, many problems he wished he didn\'t have to worry about, but many things also threatened his peaceful life. As the reincarnation of someone so powerful in his first life, he knew it would be futile to try to solve these problems immediately; he would have to wait...
Wait until the sector ascended to a higher level. When the Sector rises in level, things might get even worse... however... "I want to talk with you later," he said, approaching her and embracing her. "Don\'t worry too much, I will always be Dante," he assured, and Morgana calmed slightly... "Talk?..." she questioned.
Dante just nodded, "You, Valentina, and Voralith, I have some things to discuss about... well, the other me..." he said as he prepared to continue walking, holding Morgana\'s hand.

"Now... I should check on Sara and Lyrianna; they were in bad shape..." Dante murmured. But before that... "Fey, reforest this area, alright? Create a clearing and let the poor animals find comfort. I can feel their fear," Dante said.
He could completely sense the world tree; it had accepted him and shared something with him without her realizing it. He already knew something would happen; the blessing of the world tree was reacting that way. Now it wasn\'t just that; it was Dante\'s.
"Is that what you desire, darling?" She appeared in front of him, blushing a little. As an entity that exists throughout the planet, she had many eyes and ears, and perhaps... just perhaps... she had been spying on Dante recently to understand better how he functioned. She knew two things: he adored all kinds of women, but... what he really liked was being called "darling" by them.
Dante noticed she was a bit embarrassed... "So cute," he said, stroking her hair. "Please remember that this world is part of you. Take care of yourself too, dear," Dante said, making her tremble slightly. But she was... happy?
Even she didn\'t understand why she was so happy, it was as if she had gained a purpose... "Yes, I\'ll take care of everything, dear!" she said quickly, transforming into a green wolf similar to those Linnea carried by her side. She quickly began to run through the colorless field, filling it with vibrant green as trees, plants, and small flowers bloomed.
"That\'s... so beautiful..." Morgana murmured, feeling the fresh breeze on her face while everything seemed to move in slow motion, except for Fey, who was happily bouncing around with a canine smile on her face.
"She\'s having fun, doing something she loves," Morgana said. "Yes... that\'s what I wanted since I met her. She seemed monotonous and emotionless, but it\'s easy to understand her. A woman created to be a supreme mother, she has the planet\'s maternal instinct and always did everything for the good of her children, completely ignoring her own well-being.
That\'s a problem many world trees have in common, a duty so great it surpasses their own feelings and virtues," Dante said, watching the happy grass wolf shaping the world like a painting.
Gradually, not only flowers began to grow, but also trees and other plants. Even the water around them started to form a small lake where the deepest roots were. Fey reused every little spot; every tiny detail was considered.
"You freed her..." Morgana murmured, feeling his arm pass behind her and pull her to rest her head on his chest. "I didn\'t do anything, I just gave her a truth and a promise. Her own doubtful heart followed its instincts. That\'s why I destroyed the contract..." Morgana calmly thought about his words and... "You planned all of this before making the contract...
you manipulative bastard," she murmured, using magic to restrict her words to only Dante. He just smiled while kissing the top of her head.
"You think too much about me. I just wanted to ensure our family had a great ally. And well... now, you should stop blaming me and thank me for giving you another sister with whom you can explore magic... I\'ve never seen you using earth elemental magic... or nature magic," Dante said in her ear.
She felt the whole lie; it was clear he had planned this!
He wanted the world tree! He just got lucky! "That damn demon..." she murmured, feeling his warmth intertwine with hers... "You look even more beautiful, you know?" he murmured in her ear... "And you more shameless..."
He pulled her forward, placing her breasts on his chest and looking into those beautiful golden eyes. "It\'s just my charm," he said, leaning in...
"And you always loved it." And he sealed his lips to hers.
